Regarding the retreat, there was no hesitation or dissatisfaction from top to bottom of the Jiangdong naval army. Their purpose this time was to test Liu Jun's true details. Now it can be said that the actual goal has been achieved, if you continue to rely here, and there is no necessary material such as crossbow arrows, there is only the possibility of being killed by the enemy.

Staying here and waiting to die is not the choice of smart people. The Jiangdong Navy immediately began to retreat according to the clean orders.

Dian Wei found signs of the retreat of the Jiangdong Navy and was even more sure that the Jiangdong Navy must have no crossbow arrows and lost the ability to continue attacking.

"Damn, rat generation, you fought so happily just now. Want to run now? No way! Speed up and rush up! I'm going to screw Gan Ning's head off! Dian Wei angrily commanded his soldiers.

Every soldier of the Liu Army heard Dian Wei's order, and they all had a thought in their hearts now, that is, revenge. A large number of Liu Jun soldiers were killed and wounded just now, and the rest of the soldiers were all in pain. They were good brothers before the war, but now they are a corpse. Without revenge, they can't face their hearts.

"Kill!" Liu Jun broke out with high morale.

The two sides engaged in a chase battle on the Yangtze River, and Liu Jun's chain of warships slowly approached Gan Ning's fleet.

Dian Wei saw that the distance had narrowed a lot, so he shouted: "The archers will shoot these Jiangdong rats to death immediately!" Oh, use rockets! I want them all to be turned into torches! ”

Without saying a word, the archer found the rocket, lit it, and fired it at Ganning's fleet.

At this time, the weather was very good, and now there was not much wind and water vapor interference, and Liu Jun's rocket was able to shoot very smoothly on the ships in Jiangdong.

"It's on fire!" The Koto soldier shouted in horror.

Gan Ning scolded: "Isn't it just on fire? What's there to worry about in this little thing! It's not another encounter. Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

was scolded by Gan Ning like this, but the Jiangdong soldiers immediately calmed down. Yes, they are all elites of water warfare, and they often encounter fires, so why did they mess up just now.

Jiangdong's navy was disrupted by the retreat just now, so it was panicked and overwhelmed, and after calming down, Jiangdong's navy immediately began to extinguish the fire, and soon extinguished the fire on the ship. Originally, Liu Jun didn't shoot a lot of rockets, and there were no flammable materials on the ships of the Jiangdong Navy Army, and there were a lot of fire extinguishing facilities, so if the rocket attack was not big, it would hardly have much impact on the warship, at most it would look a little embarrassed.

Gan Ning glanced at Dian Wei behind him, isn't it a little too naïve to want to keep the Jiangdong Navy with such a little ability.

At the same time, Dian Wei saw that his rocket did not have much impact on the Jiangdong Naval Army, and he was a little unhappy.

"Get more rockets out there! I'm going to set them all on fire. I don't believe more rockets will have no effect! Dian Wei ordered without giving up.

But a lieutenant general said: "General, it is estimated that no matter how many rockets there are now, it will not have much effect?" ”

"Why?" Dian Wei was still willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

"General, the Admiral has noticed that the flow of water has changed a bit now. The ships of the Jiangdong Navy are more flexible, and if they are scattered, we will be helpless against them. After all, we are only a part of the warships and troops, and it is good to be able to repel the Jiangdong naval army. There is one more thing that I didn't tell the general, we don't have so many rockets and can't continue to attack the enemy! The adjutant explained.

The adjutant general meant to tell Dian Wei euphemistically that it was okay to come to this point now, and there was no need to chase and kill again. He still didn't say a word, that is, if the Jiangdong naval army lured the enemy into depth, then they were a lone army, and they were likely to be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. Rather than being calculated, it is better to return to the camp as soon as possible, and as for the brothers who died, it is not too late to take revenge later. The deputy general felt that Dian Wei was a rare general, and he should know about the gains and losses and predictions, so he didn't say much.

Dian Wei naturally has the kind of ability that the deputy general imagined. Dian Wei found that his side couldn't catch up with Jiangdong's naval army no matter how much he chased him, so he agreed with the deputy general's opinion.

"Okay. That's it. Next time, if you let me meet this Jiangdong dog thief, I must let them all play! Dian Wei put down a cruel sentence fiercely.

The adjutant general was even more comforting: "General, that's for sure. After all our warships are refitted, then Jiangdong will have to be flattened by us. I didn't see that they were worried about this now and came to interfere. ”

"You kid doesn't speak very well. But it was to the point. Let's go, we can't afford to waste time here. Beware of the dog thieves in Koto. Dian Wei finally relented.

The adjutant immediately went to arrange the order to return to the camp, and the serial warships immediately stopped advancing and slowly retreated.

Gan Ning was puzzled by Dian Wei's sudden choice to retreat, and said to himself: "Why did this Dian Wei retreat?" ”

But it didn't take long for Gan Ning to know why. Gan Ning, who has been wandering the Yangtze River all year round, also found that the nearby water flow has changed, and Dian Wei can't catch up with him no matter how much he chases. If Dian Wei persists, he will follow Gan Ning all the way to Chibi. At that time, Dian Wei's naval army will all be within the attack range of the Jiangdong naval army.

"This Dian Wei is still a human spirit. I saw through this point at once. The generals under Liu Yu's command are really not simple characters. Gan Ning could only sigh at this sentence.

Fortunately, Liu Jun did not continue the pursuit, and the Jiangdong Navy did not want to make any trouble. It's a good thing that both sides have some restraint now, and it's a tentative strategy on both sides anyway.

Dian Wei's side knew the advantages of the Jiangdong Naval Army, and the kind of crossbow arrows with long range and huge attack power were definitely a huge obstacle to Liu Yu's expedition to Jiangdong.

Dian Wei, who returned to the camp, was immediately found by Pang Tong.

"Evil, how is the battle?" Pang Tong asked.

"Damn, this is considered to be taken advantage of by Jiangdong. Many brothers died. My old man has never suffered such a big loss! Dian Wei said a little frustratedly.

Pang Tong didn't know more from Dian Wei's words, and continued to ask: "Evil, don't be angry, can you talk about it in detail." ”

Dian Wei slowly told everything about the previous situation. From the leadership of Gan Ning, the number of warships of the Jiangdong Naval Army, as well as the advantages of Jiangdong, and the reasons why they finally withdrew, they were all explained in detail.

"Well, this is a crossbow arrow from Jiangdong, and it is very powerful." Dian Wei even handed a relatively complete crossbow arrow to Pang Tong, so that Pang Tong could observe it carefully.

"The strong crossbow that runs rampant on the Yangtze River in Jiangdong really deserves its name!" Pang Tong sighed as he touched the thick crossbow arrow.

Dian Wei said dissatisfiedly: "Shiyuan, how can you increase the popularity of others and destroy your own prestige." I'm asking you to see if there's a solution. And not for you to say that Koto is good. ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "For this, there is really no way to do it. ”

"There is no way? You didn't say it earlier. Wasted my time. What else do you say about the first person in Nanzhou, what a big name! Dian Wei pursed his lips and expressed his disdain for Pang Tong's reputation as a wise man.

Pang Tong knew Dian Wei's temper, and he said lightly: "There is no way to do it." But there was one person he definitely had a way with. ”

"Who?" Dian Wei doesn't trust Pang Tong that much now.

"You absolutely believe this man. He is Kong Ming. Kong Ming, this guy used to like to be idle and play around with some puppets. With his ability, there is definitely a way. If he can't do it, then he really doesn't know who has a way. Pang Tong said his answer.

Dian Wei took the crossbow arrow back without saying a word, and then called a personal soldier and handed it over to Zhuge Liang.

"What are you doing?" Pang Tong was a little puzzled.

"Of course, it's handed over to Zhuge Junshi. Isn't there anything you can't do? What's the time wasted? Dian Wei said puzzled.

Pang Tong slapped his forehead fiercely, there was something wrong with this thing, so he said, "You just let people go with this crossbow arrow." If Kong Ming can guess what it is, then give you a solution. My Pang Tong is your surname. ”

"You? Don't. My old pawn is all good-looking. If you are a surname, isn't this a shame for my old family? Forget it. Dian Wei immediately refuted Pang Tong.

"You...... It's just a metaphor below, you know? "Pang Tong really wants to make Dian Wei angry, and his meaning is not on this at all.

Dian Wei despised Pang Tongyi's eyes and chuckled: "Shiyuan, do you know why you don't seem to be as good as Kong Ming? Because there are some aspects of you that are not clear and careful enough. I dare to promise that as long as I send this crossbow arrow to Kong Ming. He'll be able to get an idea. And I wasn't stupid enough to hand it over to Kong Ming without writing some letters. So it's in vain that you want to get into the canon's conspiracy. ”

Pang Tong's heart is bleeding, he was actually despised by a big boss, he is a little weird, but you Dian Wei is not much better, if you look good, there are few people in the world who are ugly. What's so great about your old pawn?

"Okay, you can't just go while you can't do it. There's just a shade there, and there's just a spot for you. Dian Wei said, pointing to the shade of a tree.

Pang Tong followed Dian Wei's gaze and found the shade of the tree that Dian Wei said. If you don't look at it, it's just that, as soon as you look at it, Pang Tong wants to explode. There was a wild dog sticking out its tongue in the shade of the tree, and there was just enough room for a person to sit there, and Dian Wei scolded him for being a dog.

Dian Wei, a big man in the five major and three places, has also learned to beat around the bush and scold people.

When Pang Tong was about to find Dian Wei's theory, Dian Wei disappeared without a trace. Only Pang Tong was left stunned.

Gan Ning's side also returned to Chibi and reported the specific battle situation of this trial to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. Of course, Xu Shu, who was left by Sun Ceqiang, happened to be here. After all, it was to assist Sun Ce in breaking the enemy, and Xu Shu had to assist Sun Ce no matter what he said.

"Back to the lord, the last general has returned from Jiangbei. Liu Jun has already prepared some of the serial warships. The last general also had a water battle with the enemy general Dian Wei. The last general found that the soldiers of Liu Jun did not receive any bumps at all, as if they were flat, and were able to quickly counterattack. Gan Ning said.

"Are there any losses among our soldiers?" Sun Ce asked.

"Back to the lord, our soldiers did not suffer any losses, but in the follow-up battle, some warships were shot by Liu Jun's rockets and were a little damaged. The last general has already checked it, and it is not a big problem and does not affect the use. Gan Ning replied truthfully.

"That's fine! Xingba, hard work. As soon as Sun Ce heard that there was not much loss, his heart was steady.

Zhou Yu felt that Gan Ning had not spoken completely, so he asked, "Xingba, how did you fight against Dian Wei?" ”

Originally, Gan Ning was reluctant to say it, but Zhou Yu asked, and Gan Ning could only explain it honestly. From Dian Wei led the warship to kill, the two sides shot feather arrows on the river, Liu Jun's feather arrows had a short range, and the crossbow arrows on the Jiangdong side had a long range, and they kept pressing Liu Jun to fight, but later this crossbow arrow was gone, and Gan Ning chose to retreat.

Speaking of which, Gan Ning didn't want to continue.

Zhou Yu also felt that it was enough, with so many tentative results, this attack was perfect.

"It seems that the serial warship can indeed solve the disadvantage of Liu Yu's side." Sun Ce sighed.

Zhou Yu said: "Liu Yu has countless capable people, and it is no exception to be able to have this method. But this exposes a weakness of our army. Water battles are nothing more than the range of feathered arrows and the number of ships. In terms of the number of ships, we can't compare with Liu Yu. After all, Liu Yu's family has a big business, and it is relatively easy to get a large number of warships compared to Jiangdong. One of the most important things in my Jiangdong is that this feather arrow is very lacking. If there is no way to get a large number of feather arrows, I am afraid that I will no longer be able to compete with Liu Yu. ”

"That's to tell the craftsmen to speed up the building." Sun Ce's idea is very simple, if you don't have it, you can just make it.

The two of them seemed to have forgotten a little. Liu Yu's side can also be regarded as having seen Jiangdong's powerful crossbow arrows. Won't he get along with each other and refrain from it? Xu Shu said weakly beside him.

This sentence calmed Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Yes, Liu Yu is very cunning, he will definitely not watch himself suffer in vain.

"Is there a good plan for Yuanzhi?" Sun Ce looked at Xu Shu with some expectation.

Xu Shu said simply: "No." ”

Sun Ce really wanted to beat Xu Shu up, this was a joke on him.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, please don't make public jokes about my family master." Zhou Yu also said with bad intentions.

Xu Shu doesn't care, in the final analysis, he has no choice.

"Bo Fu, let's still discuss and discuss." Zhou Yu could only appease Sun Ce first.

Sun Ce nodded, and pressed the idea of beating Xu Shu violently.
